Which demographic primarily makes up HOSA's membership?

HOSA, which stands for Health Occupations Students of America, is primarily comprised of high school and college students who are interested in pursuing careers in the healthcare field. This organization provides valuable experiences and opportunities for students to engage with their future careers through competitions, leadership training, and community service. The focus on students, particularly those in high school and college, helps to cultivate a future workforce that is well-prepared for the challenges of the health profession.

While adult learners in continuing education and healthcare professionals may engage with HOSA in various capacities, they do not constitute the primary demographic of active membership. Elementary school students are generally not targeted as HOSA members, as the programs and activities are specifically tailored to older students who can participate in higher education pathways in health sciences.
